Subject: Scrippy BBEdit Extension

Scrippy is a BBEdit extension that will compile and run AppleScript. In
the spirit of 'bare bones' it isn't fancy but it gets the job done.

When you activate Scrippy it will retrieve the front most window's text,
compile it, and run it. If the text doesn't compile then Scrippy will
inform you and change the BBEdit selection to indicate where the problem
is.

Scrippy is pretty quick, except for the first time you run it. The
first time Scrippy needs to link up with AppleScript and that takes a
just a little while. After that initial run you will find Scrippy to be
as quick and responsive as a dog looking for that treat at the end of a
trick.

Scrippy is free. It is a tool I developed for my own use and thought
that other BBEdit users might like it. If you have any thoughts about
Scrippy you can reach me at the address below.

Happy Scripting,
Bob Boylan
